Active Power
Power consumers, network operators, power supplies, power industry, hospitals, offices, public buildings, factories
<
Power factor = Active power / Apparent power
Apparent Power
Dephasing between current and voltage decreases the active power (only the active power is converted into useful mechanical power).
<
SOLUTION
The power factor of a facility can be improved by installing capacitor banks
Harmonic filtering
Variable speed drives (process industries, lifts, air conditioning pumps, etc.), uninterruptible power supplies for computers, electronic equipment, etc. distort the current (introduce harmonics). Impact of harmonics on transmission / distribution equipment
Additional losses (paid for by the end user) Heating in power cables Audible noise (transformers) Penalty fees to customers with a low power factor (example < 0.95)

WHO
Power consumers, network operators, power supplies, power industry
SOLUTION
Harmonics can be filtered through a combination of reactors and capacitors (passive filtering) or by injecting the exact opposite of the harmonics detected (active filter) into the network.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Reduced CO2 emissions Customers see environmental benefits through energy savings and more efficient power systems.
By saving millions of tons of CO2, power compensation makes an active contribution to protecting the environment
